where nobody got it just the opposite all over stone was trying to send up the excesses of the reagan era michael douglas's portrayal helped inspire a whole generation of slicked back hair doos in double breasted suits adopting the greed is good ethos and pursuing the american dream as it had come to be defined now delivers obscene wealth for a very few ball raining poverty and misery down on many and serving as a homicidal force for others because people do in fact die for lack of access to health care in the richest country in the world that's the us of a human consumption is in fact accelerating the instruction of our planet people do in fact die in wars waged based on lies that profit a precious few over five million children globally each year do not reach their fifth birthday because they die of starvation all of this is not because the system that puts man on the moon or can squeeze an entire library onto

a computer chip the size of a thumbnail has failed to find a way to solve these problems rather our system without apology places corporate greed. and greed take back the popular phrase is not good now the question many within the occupy movement are trying to solve is this one what would world look like that had a culture and an economic system that places human need above corporate greed and how do we bring that world into being who cares what it is called call it socialism call it real democracy now call it chunky monkey cherry garcia the world needs to change radically needs to change dramatically and it needs to change fast this documentary is an invitation for you to participate in that positive change frankly because we need to yes.

it's console down the road it's a very well to buy but makes it a problem if you just saw all the money in one place to. get that so i got you is going to money is going to get fewer people there will. be four million you have six who want to hear. the wealth of thirty percent of american families you know one percent of the wealth of ninety five percent of americans so now that we've identified the problem broadly speaking what do you think the solution is raise your hand if you think the way our representative democracy currently functions bought and sold as it is by wall street and the pacs offers a bright ray of hope forward anyone to the very same power anyone politicians know

if they spout spend their competitor they're going to when they're when the election ninety four percent of the time. so. they have no fear of the american people they fear the people who are going to fund their campaigns right so that means that you me and just about everyone we know has very little say over who represents us and little to no influence over them once they get into office for a process is rigged to throw an enormous amount of money behind candidates in the two major parties and consequently choosing the lesser of two evils is something americans have done with a fatalistic shrug of the shoulders for far too long to say the u.s. government currently functions of foreign by the people would be a funny joke if the joke were not on you mean almost everyone we know imagine a world in which your single voice carried as much weight as the c.e.o. of goldman sachs and you're starting to imagine the world that the occupy movement is trying to bring into being you know always going to greet us not about unanimity we'd all be like that duke ellington jazz orchestra. everybody got the only thing

we need to do just not to conduct but he just. doesn't look. just yes that's democracy in action. experiencing the horizontal community and culture and organization. was so radicalizing for two point continues to be surrounded by because it draws such a stark contrast up against what they're fighting and actually in their minds clarifies what they're up against more than somebody. more than it would be clarified if somebody got up and tried to clarify it for thanks to occupy wall street there is a lot of new ways of organizing which is not just calling people to participate in something you came up with but giving people the opportunity to create themselves and to be part of their in a regional brainstorming about what to do so that they feel empowered in this

moment and it's also i think. finally put the kybosh on let's organize a rally on a saturday in washington d.c. when everything is closed and people come from around the country and spend a lot of money to walk around in a circle and come home. i think. what . people might think it was by a certain degree much. i guess what you say. no longer represents the people. the people are going to take care.

thank you. thank. you thank. you. thank you thank you.

thank you. thank you. for. i. mean five thirty in the morning is a comedy on most mornings early in the occupy wall street movement there would only be about fifty maybe two hundred or so occupying the space but it's five thirty in the morning on the morning of october fourteenth two thousand and eleven several thousand people were gathered there wide awake why because mayor mike bloomberg had declared that his own personal army his words the n.y.p.d. constituting the seventh largest army in the world would have victor occupy wall street and these thousands were there not just in solidarity they were there armed with an idea some cardboard signs in an urgency to protect it and many of them were

prepared to go to jail trying to hold the space i had already gone to jail once since all of this started as an organizer with the october two thousand and eleven coalition i had been in washington d.c. in the early days of the movement and you can see me here after suggesting repeatedly i had met inside the hart senate office building that we find other uses for the money we lavish on our homicidal bull geo political china shop and the foreign policy i was given to do not pass go go directly to jail card and in a few days i would be arrested again this time for protesting corporate personhood on the steps of the supreme court. that it would occupy movement all around the world because we love. working people and we know that james joined us from the grave that we have a particular. occupy d.c. occupy wall street occupy the supreme court it's not everywhere in my willingness

to go to jail for the movement though i was hardly unique and with the thousands that were in zuccotti on the morning of october fourteenth it seemed that you're about to eclipse the previous one day record total of seven hundred protesters arrested on the brooklyn bridge what was it that brought all of those people to music cotty that this. not be a revolution in the traditional sense but this is a revolution in the life. of the lucent and it's not going to be stuff like holy spirit games and pepper spraying kill millions if everything looks like including the war you deliberately kill. in the first six months of the movement about seven thousand people have been arrested in occupy related protests for things like why all the fuss. and why in the predawn hours on that friday in october were so many prepared to go to jail. who. i. thought.

we were supposed to get cleaned out of the park we swept the show park and then we took brooms and we took them to the to wall street the co cleaned up wall street i think most of the problems with the filth was in the offices there so we can get to it but we did a little victory lap and the police brutalized this the rest of the people like you know they do that they have done that for trying to twenty five years in this country thirty five years non violent confrontations with the police whether they be in asserting one's first amendment rights to assemble for an uncredited spontaneous marches in the streets can be incredibly empowering movement building experience and an antidote to the years of disempowering and williams free speech zones when it comes to be the move and yet civil resistance is but one part one tactic of the movement if you only saw the early stages of the occupy movement through the lens of the mainstream media you might think the movement was solely about clashes with the police.

life is a dance played. through fire let's just be honest here for a moment for some people this is and justifiably so a battle about a police state since one nine hundred eighty the number of people in prison per capita in the united states has more than tripled we now in prison a greater percentage of our population than any other country in the world in fact the united states is only five percent of the world population has twenty five percent of the world's prison population in the u.s. one in every one hundred six white males aged eighteen or over is incarcerated for hispanic males that number is one in thirty six and one in fifteen black males over

eighteen is currently in jail between one thousand nine hundred seven and two thousand and seven state spending on incarceration related expenses increased one hundred twenty seven percent while spending on higher education during that same period rose a mere twenty one percent is it that much more profitable jail or population than it is an educated. i think that's a great reason to stand there and lock arms now you know why take me to if you want to continue to do this i rather go to jail you know watch you continue to put my brother my sister. or anybody else that looks like me in arrest and i think it should be a scary thing not just for those you know people color or minority but all of us the know that we have to live in a society like that. ok so depending on your geographic location your everyday reality may reflect the police state we live in two larger or smaller degrees but at least you have your health right at least you have your home.

already made every time there are issues like that which are so pfizer recreational mother. of every two thousand women are literally in profiting over what you're. going to rebuy action taking place right now. in front of my camera all right. thank you you're welcome pal sometimes demanding change on a large scale has to start with small groups of individuals saying enough is enough like this group of individuals and western massachusetts who gather in an attempt to stop bank of america from executing yet another foreclosure auction. the fact since i have five back to. a lack of government regulations gave banks enough rope to operate like cowboys in the wild west and they responded by lassoing homeowners with these predatory lending practices when the housing bubble burst bank of america got bailed out and those with underwater mortgages were sold out so

that c.e.o.'s like brian moynihan could collect the year end bonus of over nine million dollars a week lou with that they have enough money to pay for a reasonable war gauge at today's values so this is something that all of can stand behind we believe that when folks have you know a home that they should be able to stay in that home and it's not like they're not willing to pay this is the weirdest movement i've ever worked in this way and the foreclosure movement because we are begging people to take money and they won't take it of course occupy hardly invented foreclosure defenses people like grace and high foreclosure organizations have been toiling away at this for years but when occupy wall street went to east new york in december to march occupy are more and more people around the country started to realize that there was another way to back off. was. i get it back. when i think you got that

right i think you know and sometimes demanding change in a large scale starts because even smaller groups dr margaret flowers is among the nation's leading advocates for true health care reform health care reform that would eliminate the for profit insurance companies and provide medicare for all individuals in the united states a former pediatrician and congressional fellow dr flowers worked within the system for years after the farmhouse i was traveling around the country and people kept saying well how are we going to get single payer i was speaking around you know various states and and i stole a kind of came together like oh well unless you know as a as a movement even though we're in the majority of the population once a single payer system we're not going to be strong enough as a single issue. kind of movement to have that kind of political power and health care is really part of a broader social economic justice movement anyway and so we really need to come together bring our strengths together combine our strengths to have the power and

so i notice in my talks i was starting to shift more into you know calling for a broader movement as a core organizer of the october two thousand and eleven coalition that occupied freedom plaza in washington d.c. dr flowers thought fit to attend as an uninvited guest a wall street comes to washington health care conference i crashed the party with her i doubt they would let my big camera and so i had to shoot the video this impromptu meeting with the real death panels on my cell phone was it how could that we need a national health care if i didn't i acceptable saturday practice because they can't provide i was. was out i was. fine if you're going to have a snow cave to meet you are right. bit

. sally. we got found but honestly and join protesters picketing outside where adair a scarlet shared her story of why health care was literally a life and death issue i came here because. for my father part i was full suicide get shot if i had three say yes but because her life partner did have enough money to pay for health care to take care of it and then part of our cost my sister and myself were fifty four years old this is the most considerate suicide that i've ever heard of and he had to put sticky notes on everything he had borrowed from everybody saying you know return this for this person and cetera et cetera everything that could possibly be good you know not what i want my passport sharon stone said please tell me where my car my daughter from i have to find. her

baby that it was you know i'm sure you understand this is something i have you can't hold you know without but simply not i'm here that's why i'm here at this forum candidate i've heard people like every person that her lack of access to health care something's father or son or daughter thank you take a stand up not only for my father but for all those like. you have. it is. in a. way i. think you think even though my mortgage is underwater and my health care costs are going through this here is america i'll just pull myself up by the bootstraps and get to work nose to the grindstone will solve all ills but be careful out there if you

haven't noticed there is a war on workers well underway between one thousand nine hundred and two thousand and eight the average income of the bottom ninety percent remained effectively unchanged at thirty one thousand dollars per year in that same time span the average income of the top one percent went from four hundred thousand dollars to over one point one million dollars per year so much for trickle down economics in one thousand nine hundred a c.e.o. made forty two times that of an average employee by two thousand and ten to see those were earning three hundred forty three times a worker's median wage and while the rich got richer they were paying less and less taxes in one nine hundred forty five millionaires get a tax rate of sixty six percent in two thousand and ten millionaires effective tax rate was thirty two percent your corporation things look even better bank of america holds over two point two trillion in assets and pays less in taxes than the

average american household in two thousand and ten g.b. reported five point two billion dollars in profit and was awarded a tax refund three point two billion dollars citi group has not paid taxes in the last four years and yet in the wake of the financial crisis they are deemed too big to fail and received four hundred seventy six billion dollars in taxpayer bailout money and goldman sachs has spent twenty two million dollars in campaign contributions and twenty one million dollars in lobbying. efforts in the past decade and in two thousand and eight paid taxes at a rate. waiting for a. one person thank you. thank you thank you thank you thousands thank you. cut you cut the excuse that was an excuse
